By withholding I will guess that you mean the amounts that you are contributing to your 401K BEFORE income taxes (deferred compensation amount) that will not be subject to the income taxes during the year and will reduce the amount of your taxable gross wage amount that is reported in box 1 of your W-2 form at the end of the tax year. The deferred contribution amounts will be subject to income tax in future years when you retire and start receiving distribution the taxable distribution amounts from your 401K plan and at that time the taxable amounts will added to all of your other gross worldwide income on your 1040 income tax return and subject to the federal income tax at your marginal tax rate.

What are withholdings?
Withholdings are funds that are deducted from an employees paycheck for taxes as well as for payment of benefits that the employee is responsible to pay. As far as withholdings of taxes, there is the employee share of Social Security and Medicare Taxes as well as the withholding of federal, state, and local income taxes. The withholdings are not payment of the income taxes but a payment toward whatever their income taxes might be. The employee will file a tax return after the end of the calendar year at which time the years withholdings will be prepayment of the tax owed on the return. If the withholdings are more that the tax is then the taxpayer will receive a refund but if the withholdings for income tax are not enough then there will be a balance due from the taxpayer that they have to pay.
